1For this epigraph, see the on-page note to text no. 175 i 8´–14´. Restorations to the epigraph are taken from text no. 180 rev.? 7–15. For possible restorations to the end of ii 1´, text nos. 172 obv. 22 and 175 i 8´ have {DINGIR.MEŠ GAL.MEŠ} “the great gods,” while text no. 180 rev.? 8 has AN.ŠÁR u ^d15 “(the god) Aššur and the goddess Ištar.”

2This epigraph might be epigraph no. 68 from text no. 178 obv. 22´–29´ and text no. 179 obv. 1´–3´, but the attribution is not certain.

3Although the beginning of the line is broken away, the parallel epigraph in text no. 178 rev. 20–21 makes it clear that no content is missing here. Thus, the scribe has indented this line on the tablet, starting it under the um sign of ^mum-man-ap-pi “Ummanappa” from the previous line.

4As with iv 8´, although the clay at the beginning of the line is broken away, there is no content missing as the scribe has indented the line (see also text no. 178 rev. 24), starting it under the MEŠ sign of É.GAR₈.MEŠ “walls” from the previous line.
